  • Melbourn Village College an Academy of the Cam Academy
    Melbourn Village College An Academy of The Cam Academy Trust Information Pack for the Post of Teacher of Computer Science An Introduction Thank you for requesting this information pack. I hope that it gives you an insight into the school as well as the relevant subject area and vacancy. Melbourn Village College is a successful 11-16 school with a strong community feel. At just over 600 pupils, our size enables all to flourish within a supportive environment, where each feel valued and empowered. Pupils are encouraged to continue their learning outside the classroom and a very high proportion get involved in the wide range of extra-curricular activities available to them. Our most recent OFSTED Inspection in September 2017 confirmed that we are a ‘good’ school which “has continued to improve the quality of education in the school” since our previous ‘Good’ judgement in May 2013. We are committed to improving what we do and aim to be outstanding. I look forward to working with you in the future. Simon Holmes – Principal School History Melbourn is a large village situated on the border of Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, four miles from Royston and twelve miles from Cambridge. The school first opened in September 1959, the sixth of Henry Morris’s village colleges, from which the worldwide community school movement developed. It is an 11 – 16 community comprehensive school, serving a large area of South Cambridgeshire. Most pupils are drawn from the traditional catchment area, which covers eleven local villages and eight primary schools. Its southern boundary extends to the Hertfordshire border and its northern almost to the city of Cambridge.
